Para programar el Arduino LilyPad es necesario conectarlo a un ordenador. El SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout encaja en el conector hembra de 6 pines de la nueva versión del Arduino LilyPad. Hay que usar un cable USB con conector MiniB para conectar el FTDI basic breakout al ordenador. También puede usar un FTDI USB-TTL Serial cable.

Guia de la Arduino LilyPad.

Para comenzar con la Arduino LilyPad siga las mismas indicaciones que para conectar una Arduino NG en su sistema operativo (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.

Conectar la Arduino LilyPad es un poco mas complicado que con una Arduino normal (ver mas adelante para instrucciones y fotos).

La Arduino LilyPad es más frágil y fácil de romper que otros tipos de Arduinos. Nunca conecte más de 5.5v en la toma positiva ni invierta la polaridad de los pines positivo y GND de alimentación o corre el riesgo de destruir el chip ATmega. En este modelo no se puede sustituir el chip ATmega, por lo que si lo destruye necesitará una nueva LilyPad.

Sewing the LilyPad Arduino

See the LilyPad Arduino tutorial on Leah's website for more information about building a working wearable. See SparkFun for more stitchable modules that you can use with your LilyPad Arduino.

To program the LilyPad Arduino, you need to connect it to your computer. The SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout plugs into the 6-pin male header on the newest version of the LilyPad. Use a USB MiniB cable to connect the FTDI basic breakout to your computer. You can also use an FTDI USB-TTL Serial cable.

To connect earlier versions of the board or for information on other connection options see the LilyPad Arduino tutorial on Leah's website

The LilyPad Arduino is more fragile and easy to break than a regular Arduino board. Don't connect more than 5.5 volts to the + tab or reverse the power and ground pins of your power supply, or you will very likely kill the ATmega on the LilyPad Arduino. You can't remove the ATmega, so if you kill it, you need a new LilyPad.

The best way to attach your LilyPad is to use the current compatible SparkFun connector. To connect earlier versions of the board or for information on other connection options see Leah's LilyPad site.

You have a few options for connecting the board to your computer: the SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout, an FTDI USB-TTL Serial cable, the SparkFun LilyPad USB Link, the Mini USB Adapter, a regular Arduino board, or your own power supply and USB/Serial adapter.

The SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout plugs into the 6-pin male header on the newest version of the LilyPad. Use a USB MiniB cable to connect the FTDI basic breakout to your computer. You can also use an FTDI USB-TTL Serial cable.

The SparkFun LilyPad USB Link plugs into the 4-pin header on older versions of the LilyPad. If you have an LilyPad without pre-mounted pins, solder a right angle male header to the -, tx, rx, 5v labeled holes at the top of your LilyPad to make the connection. The LilyPad USB Link is available here and right angle male headers are available here.

Use the SparkFun LilyPad USB Link

Now you can attach the LilyPad to your computer by plugging the Mini USB into your computer and clipping the alligator clips to the TX, RX, +, and - tabs on the LilyPad. If you have a LilyPad whose TX and RX tabs are underneath a male header, you can trim the header pins to make room for your clips. You might want to cut a piece of foam or felt to put under your LilyPad before attaching the clips. This will make them less prone to slipping. Here is a photo showing the LilyPad Arduino connected to the Mini USB adapter.

To attach an alligator clip, cut it in half, strip the insulation off the wire, and solder the wire to the Mini USB Adapter. Once all four clips are soldered on, use a hot glue gun to cover the solder joints with plastic. This will prevent them from breaking.
